The original recipe is From Lebanese Cooking: An Introduction to This Special Middle Eastern Cuisine by Ward, Susan, p.64. 641.5956 Ward My wife prefers this without the ricotta cheese. I am undecided about the cheese. It has an interesting taste with the cumen seed in it. We wouldn't have this dish all the rime, but we like it for something different.
